Java developers usually tackle the complexity of software development through object-oriented programming (OOP). But not every problem is a good match for OOP. The functional programming (FP) paradigm offers you another approach to solving problems, and Java provides easy-to-grasp FP tools such as lambdas and streams. If you're interested in applying FP concepts to your Java code, this book is for you. Functional programming isn’t a new idea. In fact, it’s even older than object-oriented programming! It first appeared in the early years of computing, in the 1950s, in the Lisp⁠ programming language and has been used quite commonly in academia and niche fields. In recent years, however, there has been an increasing interest in functional paradigms. This book might not be for you if you are looking for a compartmentalized, recipe-style book presenting “ready-to-implement” solutions. Its main intention is to introduce functional concepts and idioms and teach you how to incorporate them into your Java code.

As the mass migration to containerize software applications continues, Kubernetes has overwhelmingly become the platform to run those applications. Cloud providers like AWS, Google, and Microsoft bundle complex Kubernetes services to make it easier to deploy and scale applications. On-premises data centers and devices let companies manage the costs and security of their Kubernetes clusters themselves. Kubernetes can also be found outside of data centers for edge computing, IOT devices, and 5G networks. Kubernetes is literally everywhere. The demand for Kubernetes expertise at a premium as the leading platform for large clouds and small on-premises computing. Kubernetes Everywhere steps you through creating your own on-premises, professional-grade Kubernetes cluster. Along the way, you gain the knowledge to master features such as deployment methods, network setup, storage management, node autoscaling, authentication, and pod and cluster security. You learn ways to obtain Kubernetes certifications, find online resources for trying Kubernetes and participate in the Kubernetes project community.

Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning for Computer Network: Management and Analysis aims to systematically collect quality research spanning AI, ML, and Deep Learning (DL) applications to diverse sub-topics of computer networks, communications, and security, under a single cover. It also aspires to provide more insights on the applicability of the theoretical similitudes, otherwise a rarity in many such books. In recent years, particularly with the advent of Deep Learning (DL), new avenues have opened up to handle today’s most complex and very dynamic computer networks, and the large amount of data (often real time) that they generate. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques have already shown their effectiveness in different networks and service management problems, including, but not limited to, cloud, traffic management, cybersecurity, etc. There exist numerous research articles in this domain, but a comprehensive and self-sufficient book capturing the current state-of-the-art has been lacking.

This book presents the concept of Control Barrier Function (CBF), which captures the evolution of safety requirements during the execution of a system and can be used to enforce safety. Safety is formalized using an emerging state-of-the-art approach based on CBFs, and many illustrative examples from autonomous driving, traffic control, and robot control are provided. Safety is central to autonomous systems since they are intended to operate with minimal or no human supervision, and a single failure could result in catastrophic results. The authors discuss how safety can be guaranteed via both theoretical and application perspectives. This presented method is computationally efficient and can be easily implemented in real-time systems that require high-frequency reactive control. In addition, the CBF approach can easily deal with nonlinear models and complex constraints used in a wide spectrum of applications, including autonomous driving, robotics, and traffic control. With the proliferation of autonomous systems, such as self-driving cars, mobile robots, and unmanned air vehicles, safety plays a crucial role in ensuring their widespread adoption. This book considers the integration of safety guarantees into the operation of such systems including typical safety requirements that involve collision avoidance, technological system limitations, and bounds on real-time executions. Adaptive approaches for safety are also proposed for time-varying execution bounds and noisy dynamics. Machine Learning methodologies are utilized to take advantage of actual data that are generally available from the operation of an autonomous system.

This book will teach you the basics of the Ada programming language and is intended for those who already have a basic understanding of programming techniques. You will learn how to apply those techniques to programming in Ada. Today, Ada is heavily used in embedded real-time systems, many of which are safety critical. While Ada is and can be used as a general-purpose language, it will really shine in low-level applications: • Embedded systems with low memory requirements (no garbage collector allowed); • Direct interfacing with hardware; • Soft or hard real-time systems; • Low-level systems programming. Specific domains seeing Ada usage include Aerospace & Defense, civil aviation, rail, and many others. These applications require a high degree of safety: a software defect is not just an annoyance, but may have severe consequences. Ada provides safety features that detect defects at an early stage — usually at compilation time or using static analysis tools. Ada can also be used to create applications in a variety of other areas, such as: • Video game programming; • Real-time audio; • Kernel modules. This is a non-comprehensive list that hopefully sheds light on which kind of programming Ada is good at. In terms of modern languages, the closest in terms of targets and level of abstraction are probably C++ and Rust.
